Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of orthopedic medical instruments, and in particular to a tumor knee joint prosthesis containing a universal ball shaft and an anti-dislocation type. Background Art

[0002] The knee joint of the lower limb is a common site for malignant bone tumors. The current method for treating malignant bone tumors in this site is mainly to remove the diseased tumor segment and then reconstruct the large bone defect with an artificial hinge knee joint prosthesis.

[0003] At present, tumor-type artificial hinge knee joints have the following two major disadvantages:

[0004] 1 From a structural perspective: There are only two types of tumor-type knee prostheses: simple hinges and rotary hinges. These two simple structural designs greatly restrict the movement of the knee prosthesis in all directions, which is very different from the movement of the normal knee joint (flexion, extension, rotation, etc.), and cannot fully achieve the level of bionics. Therefore, this type of knee prosthesis has hidden dangers such as breakage, fatigue failure, severe wear, and periprosthetic fractures, especially in children and adolescents. The amount of knee joint movement in children and adolescents is greater than that in adults, and the bones gradually mature. Ordinary hinge knee joints are subject to the influence of stress in all directions of the bones during millions of knee joint movements. Ordinary hinge knee joints prevent dislocation of the knee joint by limiting the movement of the knee joint in all directions through the hinge, but this stability comes at the expense of movement.

[0005] During human activities, forces in all directions still exist. Therefore, in the process of long-term exercise, this prosthesis that does not conform to human kinematics will experience metal fatigue fracture, wear, and even fracture around the knee prosthesis. The same principle applies to the rotary hinge knee joint. It only has a rotation function compared to the ordinary hinge knee joint, and this rotation is mainly based on the rotation of the tibial plateau, which cannot truly achieve the purpose of bionics. Ultimately, under the action of stress in different directions, fatigue fracture will occur at the junction of the tibial plateau and the tibial pad.

[0006] 2. From the perspective of materials: Existing tumor knee prostheses mainly consist of a distal femur made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy, a tibial plateau and a medullary rod made of medical titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), and a tibial pad made of polyethylene (PE). These two materials have excellent anti-wear performance and mechanical strength, and can provide immediate joint stability after implantation. However, as an implant prosthesis used in the orthopedic oncology department, it still has some deficiencies. First, the prosthesis made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy (density: 8.9 g / cm³) is too heavy, which will accelerate the load on the surrounding bone mass and may cause fractures and wear. Second, the metal particles generated during the wear process of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy will cause inflammatory reactions and osteolysis in the surrounding tissues. Third, the elastic modulus of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy (220 GPa) is much larger than that of human bone (3 - 20 GPa), and after implantation, it will cause the "stress shielding" effect, resulting in fatigue fractures of the prosthesis and fractures around the prosthesis. Finally, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy will scatter after being irradiated by radiation on its surface, generating metal artifacts. On the one hand, these artifacts will affect the doctor's observation of tiny recurrent lesions during CT or X-ray examinations, resulting in irreparable consequences. On the other hand, during tumor radiotherapy, it will affect the estimation of radiation dose, and the scattered rays will also damage the surrounding normal tissues. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The present invention provides a knee joint prosthesis with a universal ball shaft type anti - dislocation function, which solves the problem that the existing hinge knee joint does not match the biological movement of the normal human knee joint, and the multi - directional force causes wear, dislocation, and fatigue fracture of the knee joint prosthesis and other failure forms, resulting in a shortened service life of the knee joint prosthesis. In addition, through the improvement of the materials of the knee joint prosthesis components, the backbone extension segment, femoral condyle, and universal ball shaft made of cobalt - chromium - molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy with a relatively large specific gravity are replaced with carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR - PEEK) material with light weight, good mechanical properties, good light transmittance, and an elastic modulus closer to that of bone, overcoming the problems of fracture and wear caused by excessive weight in the existing tumor - type knee joint prosthesis, inflammatory reactions and osteolysis of surrounding tissues caused by metal particles, the "stress shielding" effect caused after the implantation of the knee joint prosthesis, and the defect of metal artifacts generated by radiation exposure.

[0042] The present invention provides a knee joint prosthesis with a universal ball shaft type anti - dislocation function. A ball - shaft connection component is introduced into the knee joint prosthesis. The ball - shaft connection component adopts a double - acting spherical surface fit, driving the femoral condyle to rotate 360°, which can effectively disperse the stress received by the knee joint prosthesis. At the same time, through the anti - dislocation design of the tibial liner, anti - dislocation limit is carried out on the ball - shaft connection component and the femoral condyle, reducing the dislocation during the movement of the knee joint prosthesis.

[0043] The present invention provides a knee joint prosthesis with a universal ball shaft and an anti-dislocation type. The shaft extension section, the femoral condyle and the universal ball shaft are made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material, so that the knee joint prosthesis has the advantages of light weight, good mechanical properties, good light transmittance, and an elastic modulus closer to that of bones, which reduces the load and wear of surrounding bones, can effectively avoid the "stress shielding" effect, reduce the risk of secondary fractures and bone loss, and can greatly increase the service life of the knee joint prosthesis.

When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly. Embodiment

[0071] Combined with Figures 1 to 7 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a knee prosthesis with a universal ball shaft type anti-dislocation. The knee prosthesis includes: a femoral component 1, a tibial component 3, and a ball shaft connection component 2 connecting the femoral component 1 and the tibial component 3.

[0072] The femoral component 1 includes a femoral condyle 103, a first shaft extension segment 102, and a medullary cavity extension stem 101. The first shaft extension segment 102 is connected to the femoral condyle 103, and the medullary cavity extension stem 101 is connected to the first shaft extension segment 102.

[0073] The tibial component 3 includes a tibial plateau 302 , a tibial liner 303 and a medullary stem 301 . The medullary stem 301 is connected to the tibial plateau 302 .

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the tibial pad 303 is installed on the tibial platform 302, and the femoral condyle 103 contacts the tibial pad 303 to form an articulation surface. Specifically, the upper surface of the tibial pad 303 has an arc-shaped polished surface, and the arc-shaped polished surface of the tibial pad 303 and the femoral condyle 103 form an articulation surface.

[0075] The first diaphysis extension 102 of the present invention is made of carbon fiber modified polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK) material, the femoral condyle 103 is made of carbon fiber modified polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK) material, and the tibial liner 303 is made of polyethylene (PE) material. The tibial liner 303 made of polyethylene (PE) material effectively plays a role in buffering pressure. The tibial platform 302 of the present invention is made of cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy.

[0076] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ball-shaft connection assembly 2 includes a universal ball shaft 201, a shaft pin 203 and a locking pin 202. The universal ball shaft 201 of the present invention is made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material.

[0077] One end of the universal ball shaft 201 has a universal ball shaft hole 2011 , and the other end has a hemispherical universal ball 2012 , and a universal ball shaft journal J is formed between the universal ball shaft hole 2011 and the hemispherical universal ball 2012 .

[0078] The universal ball shaft 201 is rotatably connected to the femoral condyle 103 through the universal ball shaft hole 2011 , so that the femoral condyle 103 can rotate and bend relative to the tibial pad 303 .

[0079] Specifically, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The femoral condyle 103 is provided with a femoral condyle channel 1031 , the axis of the femoral condyle channel 1031 is parallel to the axis of the universal ball shaft hole 2011 , and a femoral condyle opening K connected to the femoral condyle channel 1031 is provided at the bottom of the femoral condyle 103 .

[0080] When the universal ball shaft 201 is rotatably connected to the femoral condyle 103 through the universal ball shaft hole 2011, the universal ball shaft 201 is inserted into the femoral condyle opening K, so that the axis of the universal ball shaft hole 2011 is in the same straight line as the axis of the femoral condyle channel 1031. The shaft pin 203 is inserted into the femoral condyle channel 1031 and passes through the universal ball shaft hole 2011, and the locking pin 202 is inserted into the shaft pin 203 and locked with the shaft pin 203. At this time, the axis of the universal ball shaft hole 2011, the axis of the femoral condyle channel 1031, the axis of the locking pin 202, and the axis of the shaft pin 203 are in the same straight line, and the femoral condyle 103 rotates around the axis of the shaft pin 203 (the axis of the universal ball shaft hole 2011).

[0081] The present invention uses the shaft pin 203 and the locking pin 202 to lock, so that the universal ball shaft 201 is rotatably connected to the femoral condyle 103 through the universal ball shaft hole 2011. When the knee joint prosthesis is in the extended state, the femoral condyle 103 rotates and extends forward relative to the tibial insert 303 towards the front of the platform, as Figure 4 shown.

[0082] When the knee joint prosthesis is in the flexed state, the femoral condyle 103 rotates and bends backward relative to the tibial insert 303 towards the back of the platform, as Figure 6 shown.

[0083] In the present invention, the front of the platform refers to the front of the tibial platform 302, corresponding to the front of the knee joint prosthesis. The back of the platform in the present invention refers to the back of the tibial platform 302, corresponding to the back of the knee joint prosthesis.

[0084] As Figure 3 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the shaft pin 203 has a stepped hole, a shaft pin hole 2031 is opened at one end of the shaft pin 203, a cross-opening member 2021 is axially arranged at one end of the locking pin 202, the cross-opening member 2021 is made of an elastic material titanium alloy, and the cross-opening member 2021 has an inverted tooth-shaped convex structure. When the locking pin 202 is inserted into the shaft pin 203, the cross-opening member 2021 is pressed into the shaft pin hole 2031 to lock the locking pin 202 and the shaft pin 203, preventing the locking pin 202 and the shaft pin 203 from being displaced from each other.

[0085] Furthermore, a first PE liner 104 and a second PE liner 105 are installed between the shaft pin 203 and the femoral condyle channel 1031, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown.

[0086] Combined with Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a ball socket 3021 is formed on the tibial plateau 302. The hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021 are polished. The hemispherical universal ball 2012 of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded into the ball socket 3021 of the tibial plateau 302, enabling the universal ball shaft 201 to rotate 360° relative to the ball socket 3021, thereby driving the femoral condyle 103 to rotate 360°.

[0087] As Figure 7 shown, a U-shaped groove 3031 is formed on the tibial insert 303. The width of the U-shaped groove 3031 is smaller than the diameter of the hemispherical universal ball 2021. The tibial insert 303 is installed on the tibial plateau 302, and the journal J of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded into the U-shaped groove 3031 of the tibial insert 303, positioning the tibial insert 303 on the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 to prevent the universal ball shaft 201 from coming off, as Figure 2 shown.

[0088] Further, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the U-shaped groove 3031 of the tibial insert 303 has a U-shaped reinforcing rib 3032 with a U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033. The width of the U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033 is smaller than the diameter of the hemispherical universal ball 2012. When the tibial insert 303 is installed on the tibial plateau 302, the journal J of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded into the U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033 of the U-shaped reinforcing rib 3032, and the U-shaped reinforcing rib 3032 is located on the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 to prevent the universal ball shaft 201 from coming off.

[0089] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, the width d of the U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033 is 12 mm, and the diameter D of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 is 22 mm. When the tibial insert 303 is installed on the tibial plateau 302, the tibial insert 303 forms a unilateral (one-sided) anti-disengagement interference amount of L = (D - d) / 2 = 5 mm to prevent the universal ball shaft 201 from coming off.

[0090] Further, a gap of 0.5 - 1 mm is left at the positions where the U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033 is in contact with the journal J of the universal ball shaft 201.

[0091] As Figure 5 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a tibial insert hook 3034 is provided at the bottom of the tibial insert 303, and a tibial plateau card slot 3022 is formed on the tibial plateau 302. When the tibial insert 303 is installed on the tibial plateau 302, the tibial insert 303 and the tibial plateau 302 are fixed by a locking screw 304, and the tibial insert hook 3034 is snapped into the tibial plateau card slot 3022.

[0092] In the present invention, the femoral component 1 and the tibial component 3 are connected by a ball and shaft connection component 2. The universal ball and shaft 201 completely subverts the design of knee joint prostheses in the prior art. The hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021 are polished. The hemispherical universal ball 2012 of the universal ball and shaft 201 is embedded in the ball socket 3021 of the tibial plateau 302 to achieve a double-acting spherical surface fit, enabling the universal ball and shaft 201 to rotate 360° (360° micro-movement) relative to the ball socket 3021, thereby driving the femoral condyle 103 to rotate 360° (360° micro-movement). While increasing the mobility of the knee joint prosthesis, it can also reduce the stress on the femoral component 1 and the tibial component 3 of the knee joint prosthesis during knee joint movement, slow down the loosening of the knee joint prosthesis, greatly enhance the service life of the knee joint prosthesis, and more conform to the kinematic laws of the normal human knee joint, achieving a fully bionic effect.

[0093] In the present invention, the hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021 have a double-acting spherical surface fit. The hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021 are polished. The hemispherical universal ball 2012 made of carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK) material and the ball socket 3021 made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy have a double-acting spherical surface fit, effectively reducing the mutual wear between the hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the tibial plateau 302 during movement.

[0094] In the present invention, the U-shaped groove 3031 of the tibial liner 303 has a U-shaped reinforcing rib 3032. The U-shaped reinforcing rib 3032 has a U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033. The width d of the U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033 is 12 mm, and the diameter D of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 is 22 mm. The tibial liner 303 forms a unilateral anti-detachment interference amount of L = (D - d) / 2 = 5 mm. The tibial liner 303 and the tibial plateau 302 are fixed by a locking screw 304, and the tibial liner hook 3034 is snapped into the tibial plateau card slot 3022. The tibial liner 303 and the U-shaped reinforcing rib 3032 are located on the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 to press the hemispherical universal ball 2012, providing anti-detachment limit for the universal ball and shaft 201, ensuring that the universal ball and shaft 201 rotates 360° relative to the ball socket 3021, perfectly coping with the stress generated during sudden start running, lateral movement, and rotation movements of the human body, greatly enhancing the service life of the knee joint prosthesis, and more conforming to the kinematic laws of the normal human knee joint, achieving a fully bionic effect.

[0095] In addition, a gap of 0.5 - 1 mm is left at the position where the U-shaped reinforcing rib groove 3033 is connected to the universal ball shaft neck J of the universal ball and shaft 201, so that a gap of 0.5 - 1 mm is left at the position where the tibial liner 303 is connected to the universal ball and shaft 201. The limitation of this appropriate gap can also ensure the anti-detachment stability of the knee joint prosthesis and the gait stability during movement.

[0096] In the present invention, the femoral component 1 and the tibial component 3 are connected by a ball-and-axis connection component 2 to achieve the bionic movement function of the knee joint prosthesis. The universal ball-and-axis 201 of the ball-and-axis connection component 2 and the femoral condyle 103 of the femoral component 1 are rotationally connected through a shaft pin 203 and a locking pin 202 such that the universal ball-and-axis 201 passes through a universal ball-and-axis hole 2011 and the femoral condyle 103. The anti-disengagement stability of the shaft pin 203 and the locking pin 202 is also an important factor determining the non-dislocation failure of the knee joint prosthesis. One end of the locking pin 202 of the present invention is axially provided with a cross-opening member 2021. The cross-opening member 2021 is made of an elastic material, titanium alloy. The cross-opening member 2021 is pressed into a shaft pin hole 2031. Under the elastic action of the cross-opening member 2021, the locking pin 202 and the shaft pin 203 are locked to prevent the dislocation of the locking pin 202 and the shaft pin 203. After 5 million times of simulated knee joint prosthesis flexion fatigue tests, the locking pin 202 did not produce dislocation failure. Embodiment

[0097] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that an anti-disengagement snap ring 2013 is installed on one side close to the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012. A post-stabilizing block 2014 is provided at the position of the universal ball-and-axis neck J where the universal ball-and-axis 201 is located.

[0098] Combined with Figures 8 to 15 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, the ball-and-axis connection component 2 further includes an anti-disengagement snap ring 2013. The anti-disengagement snap ring 2013 has an anti-disengagement snap ring hook 20131 surrounding the anti-disengagement snap ring 2013 and an anti-disengagement snap ring opening 20132. The anti-disengagement snap ring 2013 is prepared from a titanium alloy material, as Figure 10 shown.

[0099] Combined with Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the inner surface of the anti-disengagement snap ring 2013 has a polished arc surface adapted to the hemispherical universal ball 2012. The anti-disengagement snap ring 2013 is installed on one side close to the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012.

[0100] As Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 shown, a post-stabilizing block 2014 is provided at the position of the universal ball-and-axis neck J where the universal ball-and-axis 201 is located.

[0101] When the hemispherical universal ball 2012 of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded in the ball socket 3021 of the tibial platform 302, the anti-slip ring 2013 is embedded between the hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021, and the rear stabilizing block 2014 is located on the rear side of the platform, and the anti-slip ring opening 20132 of the anti-slip ring 2013 is located on the front side of the platform.

[0102] like Figure 9 As shown, the tibial pad 303 is installed on the tibial platform 302, and the universal ball shaft neck J of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded in the U-shaped groove 3031 of the tibial pad 303. The tibial pad 303 is located on the upper surface of the anti-dropout clamp 2013 to prevent the universal ball shaft from dropping out.

[0103] Furthermore, when the tibial pad 303 is installed on the tibial platform 302, the universal ball shaft neck J of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded in the U-shaped reinforcement groove 3033 of the U-shaped reinforcement rib 3032. The U-shaped reinforcement rib 3032 is located on the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 to prevent the universal ball shaft 201 from falling off.

[0104] like Figure 11 and Figure 14 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a ball socket groove 3023 is provided on the inner surface of the ball socket 3021 of the tibial platform 302. When the anti-dropping snap ring 2013 is embedded between the hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021, the anti-dropping snap ring hook 20131 is inserted into the ball socket groove 3023.

[0105] For patients with large amount of exercise and large range of motion (such as adolescents, children, manual laborers and other patients), the risk of knee joint prosthesis dislocation increases. In this embodiment, an anti-dropout clamp 213 is embedded between the hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021, and the anti-dropout clamp 213 protects the hemispherical universal ball 2012 made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material. At the same time, the universal ball shaft 201 is located at the position of the universal ball shaft neck J and a rear stabilizing block 2014 is set. The rear stabilizing block 303 is located on one side of the rear of the platform, and the anti-dropout clamp opening 20132 of the anti-dropout clamp 2013 is located on one side of the front of the platform, which effectively prevents the hemispherical universal ball 2012 from falling out, and the universal ball shaft 201 is anti-dropout and limited, so that the knee joint prosthesis has better stability during knee flexion movement, and the anti-dropout performance is also further enhanced.

[0106] In order to ensure the anti-dislocation function of the knee joint prosthesis in this embodiment, each component needs to be assembled according to the correct steps during clinical installation and implantation.

[0107] Combination Figures 16 to 18 During the assembly of the knee joint prosthesis, the anti-dropping clamp 2013 is first installed on one side of the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 close to the universal ball shaft 201, such as Figure 16As shown. Then rotate the anti - detachment snap ring 2013 so that the anti - detachment snap ring opening 20132 of the anti - detachment snap ring 2013 is in the opposite position to the rear stabilizing stop 2014, as Figure 17 shown.

[0108] Subsequently, embed the hemispherical universal ball 2012 of the universal ball shaft 201 into the ball socket 3021 of the tibial plateau 302, so that the anti - detachment snap ring 2013 is embedded between the hemispherical universal ball 2012 and the ball socket 3021, and the anti - detachment snap ring hook 20131 is snapped into the ball socket slot 3023. At the same time, the rear stabilizing stop 2014 is located on one side behind the platform, and the anti - detachment snap ring opening 20132 of the anti - detachment snap ring 2013 is located on one side in front of the platform.

[0109] Subsequently, push the U - shaped groove 3031 of the tibial insert 303 towards the universal ball shaft neck J of the universal ball shaft 201. The universal ball shaft neck J of the universal ball shaft 201 is embedded into the U - shaped rib groove 3033 of the U - shaped rib 3032 of the tibial insert 303. The tibial insert 303 is located on the upper surface of the anti - detachment snap ring 2013, and the U - shaped rib 3032 is located on the upper surface of the hemispherical universal ball 2012 to prevent the universal ball shaft 201 from detaching, as Figure 18 shown.

[0110] Finally, insert the universal ball shaft 201 into the femoral condyle 103 so that the axis of the universal ball shaft hole 2011 is in the same straight line as the axis of the femoral condyle channel. The pin 203 is inserted into the femoral condyle channel and passes through the universal ball shaft hole 2011, and the locking pin 202 is inserted into the pin 203 and locked with the pin 203. The universal ball shaft 201 is rotationally connected to the femoral condyle 103 through the universal ball shaft hole 2011 by using the pin 203 and the locking pin 202.

[0111] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here. The connection method between the tibial plateau 302 and the tibial insert 303 is the same as that of Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here.

[0112] The multiple anti - dislocation designs (anti - detachment snap ring 2013, U - shaped rib 3032, rear stabilizing baffle 2014, elastic anti - detachment pin 203 and locking pin 202 structures) of the universal ball shaft assembly 2 in the present invention make the knee joint prosthesis have better stability during flexion movement, and the anti - detachment performance is further enhanced, effectively preventing the risk of knee joint prosthesis dislocation failure and greatly enhancing the service life of the knee joint prosthesis.

[0113] In Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 of the present invention, the first shaft extension segment 102 is made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material, the femoral condyle 103 is made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material, the universal ball shaft 201 is made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material, the tibial pad 303 is made of polyethylene (PE) material, and the tibial platform 302 is made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy.

[0114] The present invention replaces the existing femoral condyle 103 and the first diaphyseal extension 102 of the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy with a large specific gravity and a large elastic modulus with a carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material with a light weight, good mechanical properties, good light transmittance, and an elastic modulus closer to that of bones. At the same time, the universal ball shaft 201 is prepared using the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material, so that the knee joint prosthesis can not only ensure that the required mechanical properties are met, but also the weight of the knee joint prosthesis is greatly reduced, the load and wear of the surrounding bones are reduced, and it is beneficial to the early immediate stability of the knee joint prosthesis. In addition, the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material has good biocompatibility with human bones, and its wear particles are less toxic, so that the knee joint prosthesis of the present invention can effectively avoid the "stress shielding" effect, reduce the risk of secondary fractures and bone loss, and avoid causing inflammatory reactions in the tissues around the knee joint prosthesis.

[0115] The present invention uses a first diaphysis extension segment 102, a femoral condyle 103, and a universal ball shaft 201 made of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material and a knee joint prosthesis made of a first diaphysis extension segment 102, a femoral condyle 103, and a universal ball shaft 201 made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy material to perform finite element simulation post-implantation stress analysis.

[0116] Finite element model such as Figure 19 As shown, Figure 19 (a) is a knee joint prosthesis model made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy material, including a first diaphysis extension 102, a femoral condyle 103, and a universal ball shaft 201. Figure 19 Middle (b) is a knee joint prosthesis comprising a first diaphysis extension section 102 , a femoral condyle 103 , and a universal ball shaft 201 made of the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material of the present invention.

[0117] The calculation results of the finite element simulation stress analysis (Mises equivalent stress analysis) of the knee prosthesis are as follows: Figure 20 As shown, Figure 20 (a) is the calculation result of finite element simulation stress analysis of the knee joint prosthesis made of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy material, including the first diaphysis extension 102, the femoral condyle 103, and the universal ball shaft 201.Figure 20 In (b) is the calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis of the knee joint prosthesis of the first backbone extension segment 102, femoral condyle 103, and universal ball shaft 201 prepared from the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material of the present invention.

[0118] The calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis (von Mises equivalent stress analysis) of the femoral condyle 103 is as Figure 21 shown. Figure 21 In (a) is the calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis of the femoral condyle 103 prepared from the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy material. Figure 21 In (b) is the calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis of the femoral condyle 103 prepared from the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material of the present invention.

[0119] The calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis (von Mises equivalent stress analysis) of the universal ball shaft 201 is as Figure 22 shown. Figure 22 In (a) is the calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis of the universal ball shaft 201 prepared from the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy material. Figure 22 In (b) is the calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis of the universal ball shaft 201 prepared from the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material of the present invention.

[0120] The calculation result of the finite element simulation stress analysis shows that the knee joint prosthesis of the first backbone extension segment 102, femoral condyle 103, and universal ball shaft 201 prepared from the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material of the present invention can effectively reduce the stress concentration on the bone and the knee joint prosthesis, making the stress distribution on the knee joint prosthesis and the bone more reasonable and closer to the original biomechanical characteristics of the bone.

[0121] The carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material used in the present invention has good mechanical strength (compressive strength, bending strength, yield stress, impact strength) and biosafety. Compared with metals, on the one hand, the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material has a lower density. The density of the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material is only about 1.38g / cm3. When used as a knee joint prosthesis, it can effectively reduce the weight of the prosthesis, reduce the weight of the implant, and reduce the burden on the host bone, which is beneficial to the early immediate stability of the prosthesis; on the other hand, the elastic modulus (about 18Gpa) of the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material is similar to the elastic modulus of human bones (3-20GPa), which is lower than medical titanium alloy (110GPa). Therefore, after being implanted into the human body, it can effectively avoid the stress shielding effect and reduce the risk of secondary fractures and bone loss. Thirdly, the wear particles of carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material are not as tissue toxic as the wear particles of CoCrMo alloy.

[0122] The carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material used in the present invention has excellent light transmittance, which makes it have very important application value in the field of orthopedics, especially bone tumors. The carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material eliminates the interference of metal artifacts, which can help doctors detect early tumor recurrence; in addition, the carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material can also solve the problem of ray refraction. After the problem of ray refraction is solved, on the one hand, orthopedic surgeons can more accurately judge the dose of radiotherapy, and on the other hand, the surrounding tissues are better protected. The carbon fiber modified polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) material provides a very good alternative solution to solve the problem of tissue inflammation caused by the release of metal ions during the wear of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy knee prosthesis.
